Providence culinary incubator to close at end of September

Wednesday

PROVIDENCE, R.I. — A culinary incubator in Providence will close its doors as of Sept. 30, according to its website.

Pilotworks Providence opened late last year in an old mill building on the West Side as a shared-use commercial kitchen for fledgling food businesses.

“Please know we’ve made every possible attempt to identify potential outcomes to keep this location open,” the company said on its website. “While this is not the outcome that anyone had hoped for, we remain committed to working collectively to wind down operations as smoothly as possible to minimize the impact to our customers, vendors, and the communities we serve.”

A location in Portland, Maine, is also closing, according to the Bangor Daily News.

Members of Pilotworks will be able to continue scheduling shifts there until Sept. 30, the company said.

All storage and equipment has to be removed by Oct. 5, according to Pilotworks’ website.
